Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup milk (See Note 1)
- 4 tsp butter melted
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cooking
- cooking spray butter or lard for making pancakes (Gramma's favorite was Crisco)
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients to thoroughly beat the egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to mix. Allow to rest a minute or two.
- Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray or a dab of butter. (See Note 2). Use paper towel to wipe the butter and coat bottom of skillet.
- Pour 1/3 cup batter into the middle of the skillet. I use a 1/3 cup measure as we want a 1/4 cup batter per pancake and not all pours out as batter is thick (See Note 3).
- Look for bubbles to rise to the pancake surface, flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Remove and keep warm.
- Serve with butter, syrup of choice and fruit.
Notes
- Have milk (regular, 2% or your choice) at room temperature so melted butter does not harden as you whisk batter.
- My gramma used a dab of Crisco lard to melt and cook the pancakes in every 3-4 pancakes. She said it made them brown better than butter.
- When pouring the batter into a hot skillet, be sure use the bottom of the measuring cup to smooth out in a circular motion the 4-5 inch pancake.
